Overwatch Esport Event
January 4, 2020
The second annual Downey Unified ESports Overwatch tournament took place on December 9 and took seven weeks for a participant not only to learn how to have fun and compete but to learn how to create a career out of video games and technology that they are passionate about and enjoy doing. In order to compete, the students were asked to create a team of seven participants and battled against other teams. The winner from each school would then qualify for championships.
